One step closer

Eric Smith decided the timing was right. His girlfriend of four years, Debbie Barber, only had three one-minute breast cancer radiation treatments to go.

Even though she didn’t understand what was happening at age 4, Stevie Trujillo could see the toll Peter’s death was having on her family. Peter was Stevie’s grandfather.

In amongst the jokes and the cheesy 80s soundtrack, a theme of redemption ran throughout 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
